Nutritional values

One serving of this omelet contains 40 percent of your daily requirement of vitamins A, D, and E. These fat-soluble vitamins are important for healthy eyes (especially for seeing in the dark), the bones (absorption and incorporation of calcium), and the blood vessels (strength of the walls).

Want more vitamin C? Add a few halved cherry tomatoes to the egg mixture before you put the lid on the pan.
